Mission and History Mission Statement Notre Dame de la Baie Academy, as an educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Church, educates the whole person by developing each student’s Christian faith, commitment to service, and full academic potential within a caring Church community.
History of NDA NDA was established in 1990 when St. Joseph Academy, Abbot Pennings High School, and Our Lady of Premontre High School consolidated. • St. Joseph Academy: All-girls school founded in 1896 • Abbot Pennings: All-boys school founded in 1898 as St. Norbert High School • Our Lady of Premontre: All-boys school founded in 1941 as Central Catholic High School
Creation of the Crest Members from the three schools created NDA’s crest, which represents the rich heritage of the school. At the center of the crest is a shield and the cross of Jesus Christ. The crescent moon in the lower left of the shield represents Mary, the patroness of the school (“Notre Dame” is French for “Our Lady”). Flanking the shield on both sides is the fleur-de-lis, the French lily, which represents the school’s French founding by both the Sisters of St. Joseph Carondelet (St. Joseph Academy), the Norbertines (Premontre and Abbot Pennings), and the French heritage in the Green Bay-De Pere areas. The four waves in the lower section of the crest represent the waters of Green Bay and they unite the three previous schools’ alumni communities and NDA. Finally, our mascot, the Triton, symbolizes the union of the three predecessor schools.
Accreditation NDA is accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancEd, and is a member of the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA).
Employees Working at NDA are 85 full time employees, including 52 faculty members and one Norbertine priest. All faculty hold Bachelor’s Degrees, and 30 hold advanced degrees including one with a doctorate degree. Several are currently working toward advanced degrees.
